The THE World Academic Summit 2022, in partnership with New York University, focused on the theme of trajectories. We examined the role of higher education leaders and policymakers in identifying, adapting to and meeting rising expectations for progress in three different areas: institutions, students and the wider higher education sector

The event brought together some of the world’s most influential leaders and researchers to discuss where higher education is headed and how it will contribute to these multiple trajectories at the individual level of student success, at the institutional level of pedagogical and research excellence, and at the sector level of meeting the needs of society.

The gala dinner featured the exclusive live reveal of the THE World University Rankings 2023, followed by an in-depth masterclass from THE's chief data officer Duncan Ross with detailed analysis and insight into the key findings, trends and stories from the data.

Billy Wong, THE's lead data scientist, hosted a special session offering a first look at WUR3.0, the next iteration of the THE World University Rankings.
